SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean football fans will be left in the dark as their national team play in North Korea for the first time in 30 years on Tuesday, with Pyongyang refusing to broadcast the World Cup qualifier live amid a return of chilled relations with Seoul.

Last year saw a flurry of sports diplomacy between the two Koreas, who fielded a joint ice hockey team and marched together at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in South Korea.

South Korean media have also been blocked, with only some 30 staff members from the South's football association with limited communications allowed to relay information about the game, Seoul officials said. "There have always been at least some South Korean fans, so it should be our first time to play without any," defender Kim Min-jae said before departing for Beijing on Monday.The countries last faced each other in Pyongyang in a soccer international in 1990.
